MG specialists in Georgia
 
Can anyone supply me with a list of doctors in Georgia (Atlanta area and beyond) who specialize in treating myasthenia gravis?

Thanking you in advance for your much needed replies,
V CASH

I would also like to know the answer to that question. I am in Georgia as well.

I also have MG and SPS and live in Georgia. I don't believe that there are doctors that specialize in just MG because it is so rare. From what I have been able to figure out is the best that you can find is a doctor that specializes in MS which is the closest autoimmune disease to MG. I'm on the search for one.

Good luck finding someone in your area that cares about your condition.

I think a doctor that cares is one of the most important things...difficult to find though!

I also live in Georgia, and would like to know as well!

I have a neurologist that was recommended by a friend who has
MS. Mark Kozinn, if you have MS he is the guy. I would like
someone who is 'in tune' with MG.

I go to Dr. Ragmish Sidpura in Columbus, Georgia. He listens, he is understanding, and he cares. He is extremely kind. I don't know how good he is. I am not dead yet so that is a good sign.

I'm just over the border in Chattanooga, TN (about 1-1/2 hours from Atlanta). I go to a neuro here who has 4 other mg patients that I am aware of. He says he feels like he is developing a mg practice (says it jokingly, but it may be true!). If you are interested in his name, pm me. He is a really good neuro who has a good grasp of mg and the issued involved.

All, I have been looking into doing a clinical trial and in doing so had someone associated with that trial recommend 2 MG 'experts' in the Atlanta area.
David Williams and Marat Reyzelman

Keep in mind that I have not been to either one, but I will and when I do I
shall let you know what I thought.
